FCO wanted an EU training programme comprising two strands; one for staff based in the UK and the other aimed at UK missions overseas.

Our actions

Dods Training provided an innovative, unique approach to the design and delivery of the programme. Our vast network of trainers meant that we were well-placed to employ specialists to deliver the programme as well as gain access to prolific guest speakers. Our unique situation as part of the Dods group meant we were able to offer a combination of high quality policy training through Dods Training/Westminster Explained along with comprehensive monitoring of EU developments via our Brussels office; Dods EU. This enables us to keep our training up-to-date and relevant through contacts and information exchange within the organisation.

To-date both programmes have been incredibly well-received. Highlights of the courses include a visit to the European Parliament in Brussels, training in the British Embassies in Prague and Athens, and meeting with leading MEPs and officials.
